Chinese Daikon Cake (Luo Buo Gao)

Daikon is a type of Asian radish that looks like a large white carrot. Commonly used in many Asian cuisines, it is the main ingredient of daikon cakes. Daikon cake is a popular dim sum dish but traditionally, it is served during Chinese New Year. The cakes are first steamed, keeping the cake very tender, then pan fried giving each slice a crispy exterior.

I bought daikon radish yesterday. I will be making this for dinner tomorrow. Sounds yummy. Last summer I bought daikon for the first time. I used it in a vegetable chili. It was actually quite good. Looking forward to trying your recipe tomorrow.

I just wanted to let you know that I tried your recipe and posted it on my blog. It's called Daikon Cake and Courage. I made it again and changed up a few things. I made it into a shrimp toast of sorts. It is our dinner tonite. I did reference your blog too! Thank you for this great recipe.
